How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will show you how to join two pieces of wood together. We will be using the "pocket-hole joint", which involves drilling holes in wood and then gluing them together. This method works great if your wood is straight and smooth. Try dowel joinery instead if your wood doesn't look straight. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. You will need to measure and mark the exact location of your pocket hole joint. Next, drill 3/4 inch holes in each end of each piece using a handheld drilling machine or jigsaw.
-
Sand Smooth. You can sand the edges of the wood to ensure that it doesn't split.
-
Glue the two sides of the wood together. Apply glue to both the ends of the wood. Let the wood sit for 5 minutes, then clamp it together.
-
Secure the pieces together. After the glue has dried completely, you can clamp the pieces together until they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.
Be sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they can be turned inside-out.
